“I’m honored to step into this role and continue building on the Foundation’s exceptional scholarship program,” Scovill said. “I’ve seen the life-changing impact these scholarships have on our students, and I’m excited to expand those opportunities. I’m also looking forward to growing our volunteer program to support more activities and events that benefit the WVC community.”

Scovill holds a bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies from Central Washington University and an associate degree from Wenatchee Valley College.
